👉Load Calculation on Slab – Dead & Live Load Distribution
🪧Understanding slab load distribution is essential for safe and economical structural design. Slab loads are transferred to supporting beams based on slab type and span direction.
🚧Key Points:
✅ Slab loads consist of Dead Load + Live Load + Floor Finish Load.
✅ One-way slabs transfer load only in the shorter span direction to two opposite beams.
✅ Two-way slabs transfer load in both directions to all four supporting beams.
✅ Load distribution depends on the shorter span (Lx) and longer span (Ly).
✅ Supporting beams receive triangular or trapezoidal load patterns depending on slab geometry.
✅ Accurate load calculation ensures proper sizing of slabs, beams, columns, and foundations.
✅ Incorrect load assumptions can lead to excessive deflection, cracking, or structural failure.
